Ped Party

The Progress, Equality, and Democracy Party, better known as the Ped Party, was a social liberal party which existed in Symbionisia from 1953 to 1965. The party was founded by President Conrad Rogers, who opposed the perceived conservative policies of the Unity and Liberty Party, and Rogers sought to make Symbionisia an example for other Pacific nations. The Ped Party would also be led by Anthony Astillo, who included socialists and leftists in his government. However, he was anti-communist, and he purged communist elements of the party. Upon Astillo's 1965 departure from office, the Ped Party dissolved, losing the power that it once had.
